No more so than per-user blacklisting, as far as I can see...

Yes, but what about the other recipients?

And that's the key issue. You really can't do this at the DATA ACL,
no matter how hard you try. Whitelisting or blacklisting, the same
principle applies, AFAICS.
That's why we've been doing selective defers for the last couple of
years, and others on the list have confirmed that it's a viable
solution (I thought it had even got into an FAQ):
